Suspenseful but uneven

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2003)

I had read the reviews when the movie was released and looked forward to seeing it on dvd (I never go to theaters anymore). I knew the plot outline so I was not surprised that the protagonist emerged into an empty city. HOWEVER, the constant attacks by groups of infecteds did surprise me. I like logic in plot development, no matter the genre, and what I found illogical and annoying was that the infecteds were not attacking one another. After all, they had a virus which gave them uncontollable rage. This rage should have been directed at everyone and everything. Also, after 28 days of this London would have been a charnal house, with decomposing bodies all over the place, but perhaps the budget did not permit it.
